Overview

We'll take the 10:45 steam train from Chinnor to Princes Risborough and walk back via Bledlow.

After stopping for a look at Bledlow's Lyde Garden (dogs not allowed), we'll have a picnic at the cricket ground where the club bar should be open.

Back at Chinnor, tea will be available at the station cafe.  And, if you've bought a day rover ticket, you could enjoy another train ride to Princes Risborough and back.

Instead of starting from Chinnor you could join us at Princes Risborough station at 11:10 on platform 4, do the walk to Chinnor, then take the train back.

Sorry, no dogs.
